The nucleus has a width on the order of 10^(-15) meters, while an electron is (on average) a distance of 10^(-10) meters from the nucleus. If you were to magnify the nucleus to the size of a Baseball, the electrons would be orbiting at a distance of around 1000 meters. That is, there are about 50,000-100,000 nucleus diameters to the electron's average radius.
What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the particles that circles the nucleus of an atom?
Electrons are the particles that circle the nucleus of an atom.
The closer a is to the nucleus the stronger the attractive force?
Yes, that's correct. The closer an electron is to the nucleus of an atom, the stronger the attractive force between the nucleus and the electron. This attraction is due to the electrostatic force between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electron.
What is a proton in the nucleus converted into what during electron capture?
During electron capture, an electron and proton combine and are converted to a neutron.
How many particles do the atom have?
An atom typically consists of three main particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons reside in the nucleus, while electrons orbit around the nucleus. The number of protons determines the atom's identity, while the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus gives the atom's mass number.
What is a high energy electron from the nucleus called?
beta particle In beta decay a neutron is converted into a proton, electron (also called a beta particle) and an electron antineutrino.
How many electrons are in the nucleus of the element tin?
None, electrons are in the electron cloud, not the nucleus
The farther an electron is from the nucleus the?
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
Where are the nucleus and electron cloud?
nucleus is in the middle and the electron cloud is around it
How can you use atom electron nucleus and electron cloud in the same sentence?
Electron in an atom is represented by electron cloud around the nucleus
How many outer shells are around the nucleus of darmstadtium?
Darmstadtium has seven electron shells around the nucleus.
The particle NOT found in the nucleus of the atom is what?
The particle not found in the nucleus is the electron
Is the nucleus a region in which there is a good chance of finding an electron?
An electron is what orbits the nucleus. The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons
What is the name of the particles that circles the nucleus of an atom?
Electrons are the particles that circle the nucleus of an atom.
Where is the location of an electron outside of the nucleus?
Electrons are found in the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus.
How does the mass of the nucleus compare to the mass of the electron?
The nucleus is far more massive than the electron cloud. The mass of the electron cloud is almost negligible compared to that of the nucleus.
How do you use the word electron in a sentence?
The electron has a negative charge and orbits the positively charged atomic nucleus. Many compounds are made possible by electron sharing between elements.
The particle that orbits the nucleus in an atom is the?
The sub-atomic particle that orbits the nucleus in an atom is called an electron.
